Polatis, Inc., a producer of all-optical switch technology, announced that it will demonstrate its latest Series 6000 192×192 all-optical switch for the first time in Europe during the European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC) on 17-19 September 2012 at the RAI Congress Centre (booth 700) in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Visit the booth to see the Polatis Series 1000 and 2000 all-optical switches being demonstrated, with port counts now ranging from 4×4 to 192×192
The Series 6000 optical matrix switch was released to the market earlier this year and is a non-blocking, single-mode, fibre all-optical matrix switch with up to 192×192 ports and a typical loss of less than 1 decibel (dB). Following its launch, the Series 6000 is now being shipped to major customers with government, telecom and data-centre applications and Polatis currently has a backlog of orders for this product.
Polatis’s all-optical switches are based on the company’s patented DirectLight beam-steering technology that makes optical connections entirely independent of the colour, direction or power level of light on the fibre and so enables the switching of dark fibre, as well as high power and bi-directional traffic for government, telecommunications, data-centre and video applications.
Government agencies use Polatis DirectLight switches to secure, manage, provision and maintain their communications networks. Polatis provides the ability to meet requirements to reroute signals without degrading the physical layer infrastructure and with low insertion loss, crosstalk and back reflection.
Telecom and data-centre architects are working on innovative designs using optical switches to handle the explosive growth in traffic to support new and emerging video and cloud based services. Polatis DirectLight switches are suitable for use in telecom networks and data-centres as they meet the performance and reliability requirements of these applications with low loss, fast switching and low power consumption in a compact rack-mount chassis.
